Lookout Mountain


provides a spectacular view of Chattanooga.

On our drive with Brenda to Chattanooga this morning, the three of us had brilliant sunny skies and cold temperatures. The closer we got, the more interesting the terrain--bigger hills, even some mountains, Tennessee River. Interestingly I-24 dipped into Georgia for a short stretch just before reaching Chattanooga.

And the city is very interesting. Unfortunately we visited on the Saturday before Easter Sunday when many other families decided they would join us. That meant long lines for the aquarium, very few tickets for the IMAX version of Happy Feet. Can't imagine what it must be like in the summer!

We had lunch at a highly recommended rib joint and were not disappointed. Later we took a driving tour of the city and Lookout Mountain.

On our return to Nashville we got off the interstate and took some of the old highway between Nashville and Chattanooga, along the Tennessee River and then into farming country.

A fun day trip. And a return visit is in store.
